NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces criticism over his October 7th anniversary statement
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement on the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks acknowledging the killings and abductions of Israelis before pivoting to criticize Israel's military campaign in Gaza as a 'genocide.' The statement drew criticism from multiple commentators, including comedian Bill Maher and Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha, who called it 'tone deaf' and 'disgusting' respectively.
